[QUOTE="iluvmachines"][QUOTE="PAL360"]

I just realised the fact there are lots of pirated 360s make it´s huge software sales even more impressive :o

PAL360

larger user base= more publicity. is that hard to understand?

humm....what does it has to do with what i said?

Because it hurts his case of teh piracy inflates the 360's numbers. The 360 has huge software sales and on 1/4 th the user base of the PS2. can people pirate games on 360 ? sure can they stay online with their modded 360's NOPE.

ps3 started out bad, but its definately taking steps in the right direction

sony expects their videogame division to be profitable by next year, iirc

I am sorry but that made me laugh a little just look how far into the gen we are and still Sony is saying they expect their console to bring a profit NEXT year. That is not steps in the right direction that is just praying they can stop the money bleeding. In the end they are still last in everything.

ps3 cost 36$ more to make and will probably cost less at the end of 2010, also ps3 was first in terms of games at 2008 and 2009 so stop saying ps3 is last on everything

Ok in a fanboy's opinion it was first. The end result is on this site and game rankings the 360 has a better scoring library. So you enjoy what people say on SW while 360 fans enjoy the better game library.

[QUOTE="93soccer"][QUOTE="iluvmachines"]People is always complaining about ps3 sales and hide behind them to justify their opinions. But what they don't realize is that ps3 is getting closer to the 360 even withouth piracy (i won't specify it, of course). Fact: piracy does affect sales, perhaps not in NA but in other countries it does. like in europe and south america where money is scarce in most situations and console prices are higher because of taxes and other stuff. (i'm not talking bs, i live in one of these areas) and so they decide to buy the console that posseses piracy. what console is that? or better yet what are those? the wii and the 360. unsurprisingly the two best selling consoles this gen. ps2 had piracy+ the best lineup in gaming history=the best selling console of all times. ps3 has a great lineup but it lacks piracy...so when the ps3 gets piracy...360 and wii are over. P.S. I'm in no way saying that i use piracy or that i encourage it. i actually own a ps3. how are you able to afford your games? you may be wondering. i exchange games with my family. i buy one, they buy another. they finish it, i borrow it from them. i don't encourage piracy i only wanted to remark how it affects console sales and other stuff. probably blog material, i know.iluvmachines
As I said in the exact same thread, that's like saying ps3 has those sales because people bought it as a blu ray player. You have no way to prove it. Also, PS3 sales are NOT doing fine. Go ask sony. They were first last gen with 100m+ sold and this gen they are last and not making money on the console. And LOL at the part when you said all of europe is poor :lol:

my bad in the europe part :P i was refering to south america and yes i live there (of course not all south america is poor. but it's hard to ignore that is has some degree of poorness. that's where i got the idea for this thread (because i know how is the situation in here). you probably live in NA so you don't know how it is here. p.s: can you explain that blu-ray point you made there?

What I meant was, since PS3 includes a blu-ray that's like saying "oh it sold xxM units because of people buying it to watch movies and not play games"

No PS3 sales are NOT doing fine , if you ask Sony you think they'll agree with you. When PS3 starts making money, then the sales will be fine.

If piracy were such a significant factor, the 360 attach rates wouldn't be the highest of the three consoles.

every site said that ps3 was the best console of 2008 and 2009, at metecritic ps3 has almost the same amount of AAA, AA and A games while 360 has almost twice the games that are available on ps3, that means 360 has more trash games
